After 96k the buttons were fading. My friend found these and they look great.

If you click on the picture it will enlarge. Those look good - just wonder how long they will last.

Yeah, but the pic of the HVAC is not with the stickers. Need to see these installed to be sold...

Good to know.
Any problem getting these to lay correctly since most of the buttons have a dish to them?
Thanks

A couple of my buttons are looking pretty rough and need to be replaced or recovered with something like this. Would like to see pics of them installed in day and night IF possible.

I ordered and installed a couple on my 98 coupe about 2 years ago. Fit was fine and still look new.

Not a problem, some had small slits to conform. Need to use an exacto knife or thin pick worked great.

Another auction is showing this picture - but to me it seems fishy since its obviously not the same car (CD in first pic - Cassette in second pic) and honestly, I dont see any stickers on the AFTER picture...do you?

Just took a daytime picture and will take a night one after dark. There are die cut holes for the light. I am impressed.

You're right, they are a poor representation. Watch for my pictures of after.
